- Summary:
- THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVILLE, with sly nods to British TV shows like "THE AVENGERS" and "DOCTOR WHO." The film stars a Who's Who of great Sixties European character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who's invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons called "The Annulator." A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the leader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco veteran Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg's deranged jazz-lounge song, "Bye Bye Mr. Spy" - performed by him on funeral parlor organ, no less - is arguably the film's high point. Presented in a new 4K digital restoration
